    FINDING ONE

    Common: usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Forest River is a volume manufacturer; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

    OUR TAKE

    Long-running 12ft-box hardside A-frame; closed length grew from 19ft 2in to 18ft 4in on the 2026 chassis.
